Leading a biracial band of militant idealists, he seized the massive armory at Harpers Ferry, freed and armed slaves, and vowed to liberate every bondsman in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown's daring strike sparked a savage street fight and a counterattack by U.S. Marines under Robert E. Lee. The bloodshed and court drama that followed also shocked a divided nation and propelled it toward civil war. Tony Horwitz's \u003ci\u003eMidnight Rising\u003c\/i\u003e brings Brown and his uprising vividly to life and charts America's descent into explosive conflict. The result is a taut and indispensable history of a man and a time that still resonate in our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gale Cengage Learning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049295921392,"sku":"9781410441867","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781410441867_p0.jpg?v=1763724826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781410441867","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
